TaskMaster Todoist

TaskMaster Todoist is an MCP server that connects Cursor AI and Claude Desktop to the Todoist task management platform. Software developers, project managers, and technical professionals use it to query and review their daily commitments directly from their coding environment. By integrating with the Todoist API, the server lets AI assistants retrieve tasks through native filter queries, enabling developers to organize work without leaving their editor. The server exposes tools like get_tasks_tool, which accepts standard Todoist filter strings such as due dates, overdue statuses, or custom timeframes, alongside priority levels ranging from 1 to 4. Each returned task is formatted with clear indicators for priority levels and due dates. This setup bridges development workflows with personal task lists, giving AI models the context needed to summarize pending work, align development milestones with daily tasks, and surface urgent items. Configured via standard JSON settings, TaskMaster Todoist keeps task tracking embedded inside everyday development environments.
